""I have found," the bogeyman said solemnly,
"that whether the holiday season consists
of humbug or hope depends largely on
the people with whom you spend it.""

This is amongst the best and most powerful of your poems to date.
How simple it is and how truthful.
There are far and away too many sad people in this world and it can make it hard to find someone fit to associate with.
Thank you for writing this!
